I'm guessing that at least one wealthy-from-birth, inexperienced person, playing with their parents' money or trust fund money, has probably just paid it. There are people for whom writing a $70K check is easier than figuring out if they actually have to pay it.

Surely someone else would have done it for them, and paid the $400? After all, you don't get wealthy by having your loved ones paying $71k when $400 would suffice.

Not necessarily. I grew up around some wealthy kids that were dumber than rocks, who have since been handed millions of dollars and have tried to invent their own jobs by creating businesses. Most of these businesses have failed, and they keep starting new ones. Success really isn't the point of these companies...it's to keep their parents off their backs about doing something with their lives.

These are the kinds of people that will pay it. They don't need to "get wealthy" - they already are.

how do I get in touch with these folks? I can help them not fail and charge a very modest percentage! :)
